Kyadondo East MP Robert Kyagulanyi aka Bobi Wine on Friday visited the survivors of Bududa mudslides.
Bobi Wine, in a company of fellow MPs including Gerald Karuhanga, Angelina Osege, Gafa Mbwatekamwa, Paul Mwiru, Theodore Sekikubo, Winnie Kiiza, Sylvia Akello, and John Baptist Nambeshe among others, consoled those who lost their loved ones and donated mattresses, blankets and soap among other items.
Mudslides hit Bududa district last week on Thursday destroying villages in the four sub-counties of Buwali, Bukalasi, Nalwanga and Bubiita.
Heavy rains rolled big boulders through the villages of Suume, Nyekhe, Malila, Lwanda, and Nanyinza killing and sweeping away unspecified number of people who are still missing.
According to Musa Ecweru, state minister for disaster preparedness, by last evening, about 46 bodies had been recovered and some handed over to the relatives for decent burial.
The LC V chairperson, Watira Wilson , who is also the spokesperson for the Disaster Committee, pointed out that the number of the people injured has risen from 31 to 45. Watira says that the search is still on-going to recover more bodies which could have been trapped in river Suume.
46 dead bodies had by last evening been recovered, according to the state minister for disaster preparedness, Musa Ecweru.
